The CRIS 2010 conference aims to give insight into the role of CRIS in terms of shaping the research agenda and transferring research outcomes from the laboratory to areas of usage and application:

• Research administration/management
• Evaluation
• Driving innovation and creativity
• Making the research process more efficient (money / input saved, publications / output raised)
• Transfer of research results (to the scientific community, to industry, to citizens' initiatives)
• Dissemination of research results (to policy makers, the general public)
• Developing research programmes
• Detection and prediction of trends and new research areas
• Supporting interdisciplinary research
• Supporting international cooperation

During the event, PLATON+ partners will discuss about their experiences from disseminating research results under the Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities dmain. The transmission of SSH activities to the public at large is mainly attached to and centered in their electronic presentation - e.g. their websites, which are considered to become the ‘central hub' for the specific project aim. The presentiation will focus on some additional conditions these electronic tools should provide as well as conditions the project consortia should take into account in order to reach their target groups.

• Title of presentation: "Reaching the public of the Social Sciences - Experiences from practice, the Support Action PLATON+"
• Date / Time: Thursday, 3 June 2010 / 11:00-11:30
